- More than 30 people are missing after a landslide at a jade mine in Hpakant, northern Myanmar. The incident occurred when earth and debris from nearby mines slid into a lake, carrying away miners who were digging for jade.
- Similar accidents occur on a smaller scale and often go unnoticed. Independent miners settle near discarded earth mounds left by mining companies, scavenging for jade in unstable areas. Most of these miners are unregistered migrants.
- Jade mining is a significant source of revenue for Myanmar's military-installed government and the Kachin Independence Army.
